Hi, I have just copied all of the 12 months of themes to make the 2017 Christmas cards and will print them out...Helps me out - easier to look on my sheet than to keep clicking links. I will check them off as I go. Now, I don't really get where they are posted at...I see you put a code with them...but where do I actually post at? I am new to this girls! ;) I saw there wasn't any snow, or snowmen themes...my favorites...but maybe another year! Also, I get emails all the time from this challenge spot...Do you get every email that others post even if the message isn't for me?...When I see an answer to my question or a comment...can I reply directly to that person or am I only able to post a comment or question in the box at the bottom of the list? I don't see any button to reply directly to a person's comment! Sorry for all of the questions...And lastly, I almost forgot...Great news!!! > I saw the most darling set of stamps and dies...Heartfelt Creations: "Woodsy Wonderland" They are cutest little woodland animal stamp & die sets! Well, they are discontinued and there are some individual sets out there...and a few IWIA (I Want It ALL) completes sets, but are way too pricey for me! Well, a lady had a few sets, but it was for local pick up only and way too expensive for me. I wrote her and asked if she wanted to barter...me paint something for her in exchange for the stamps & dies! And she said YES! She wants me to paint a pic of her Grand daughter and put fairy wings on her! I am so excited to do this! The lady is having a time uploading a pic though...hopefully she gets it up soon so I can get started on it! I am so blessed! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

I am thankful to have joined this group this year! I have so many wonderful cards to give out and I have given several to my mom and sister to give out as well. It's been a great motivation! I am glad I decided to create 4 of each design! I want to join again next year! Thank you for hosting.
Submitting this card for December, 'cause it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else! :-)

I made 7 more cards today, simalar to ones I already uploaded so didn’t upload again. I keep finding mod people to add to my list. I mailed out 30 and have that many more to mail out. Still need to make more. Next year need to make more than four a month! I have to think what my monthly goal will be!
The Christmas card sale I held at my house (to raise money for the therapeutic riding program where I volunteer) was successful and I now have to make lots more cards for me to mail out1 Here's my first one for December:
I'm slowly getting Christmas cards done - I've been a bit distracted by the awesome challenges and trying to use up my stash!! Here's my Christmas Card for TLC667 - Snowman Shelf Sitter

I did complete all of the number of cards I signed on for (4 per month), but haven't uploaded all of them because a few were CASES. What I learned yesterday when I sat down to finish up some of the inside sentiments and make envelopes for the non-traditional sized cards, is that I didn't commit to enough! Good thing I had some left that I had made last December to use. For 2018's challenge, I'll definitely have to step up my game and try for 5 or 6 cards per month!

I've lost track of where I am on the monthly quota, think I might be short one for November, but I'm going to put the cards I've made lately here. Still a couple more to make but they are for the DSs so there is no rush on them.
